Seven Layer Salad

I can't remember who it was...but someone noted this salad in a post this past summer. I remember throwing out the question...what is a seven layer salad?! Like Char'sRumaki....I had never heard of it. As Christmas potlucks are filling my calendar I thought ... Hmmmm...what can I take that I can eat and eat and not feel toooo guilty about. Salad of course. Well...I looked up this salad and I am not sure it is totally guilt free but....I know I will have seconds of this salad. Just look at the ingredients! Every recipe I found had so many different ways of making it and all looked good. I settled on a combination of layers that appealed to me to try out tonight. I am thinking I am going to get kudos for this from my guys!

INGREDIENTS: (Remember substitutions are just as good - let your inner salad side out!)

I love 7-layer Salad. I've also seen it called Overnight tossed salad, since you can get it ready the night before and just mix everything right before eating. I usually leave out the celery and use sliced hardboiled eggs in mine too. Cauliflower and radishes are also yummy additions.

Yum...love the varieties I am hearing and the tips. I too, would use less dressing on top next time. By the way..the container I am using for the photos is very small so I modified the amount of ingredients.
